I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 00:55:04 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/sharks/?p=2568#comment-50859Heatley isnt paid to be a fan favorite. Heater isnt paid to get along with others. Healtey isnt paid to form life-long bonds and friendships and to golfing with mgmt. Heatley is paid to score goals plain and simple. He is paid to put the puck in the net and not much else. Just like Joe is paid to pass and not much else. I dont hear you complaining that Joe doesnt shoot or backcheck either. I dont hear you compalining about Boyle giving the puck away when he is supposed to be advancing it. You praise Error but fail to recognize how many panes of glass he broke behind the net or how many giveaways he had last year. This isnt a goddamn sandbox where sharing is caring. this is the NHL where scoring is excitement and overall the bottom line is the team that scores more goals in a game wins the game and that is why we brought in Heater. To score goals.

Just look at it this way….”Dany heatley is a horrible motivational speaker/passer/backchecker/captain….but he is a GREAT goal scorer!!!!”

Hell if it gets us farther than the past two years then i could care less if he doesnt brush his teeth, takes teammates parking spots, or farts too much at night when sharing a room with his roommate on the road.

I’m not saying anything new. Dany’s brought questions about his affect on and value to a team his whole career even as a BADGER.

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 00:03:54 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/sharks/?p=2568#comment-50854Wait, why does Dany have to win it all for you to join the fan club? You seem to be all over those last 4 guys fan clubs and what exactly have they brought to SJ? Considering we have nothing I’m going to have to believe they contributed to that nothing.

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 00:00:11 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/sharks/?p=2568#comment-50853Everybody’s got his/her opinion. Until June we’ll have to wait and see who was right. If Heatley helps us get there and still be playing then I’ll join his fan club too.

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 23:58:33 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/sharks/?p=2568#comment-50852Heatly– “Everyday and Twice on Sunday!” Not just the stats; he brings offensive aggressiveness to top line. Matches well with Seto/ Joe and great with patty and Joe—In small doses!!! (Patty needs to go back to the 2nd line. (I started this thinking about the trade; you can have those 4—though, I love Milan! Errorhoff may have been fast and could get back on odd man rushes, but he caused most of them. I am happier watching the decent, non-flashy “D”, waiting for the shoe to drop with Errorhoff)
–But the whole heart/skill conversation got to me. We expect all these guys to be type A leaders, which are 25% of the population, while higher in sports, they will not all have that genetic makeup. Should we expect Joe play contrary to his character? What do we mean by heart? Hello “Over-checking” has Teamusons disease on defense, where is his heart then? Joe puts his heart into being the best support man in the business and he is: Let him be him! (The 5 Joe/ 5 Nolan things, is ridiculous—1 Joe / 1 Nolan and 4 Heatly(s) and Joe wins 9/10, though I will take 5 Pattys!). Joe is an assist man! Put him with the shooters and let him become great and make them great (tada-cheechoo-57goals).
–Patty, is a right hand man. He will lead when no one else can or when there is no leader, yet he has the play/skills of a leader. Should we expect him to lead when there are others who can? No, put him with pavs/mitchel/seto/couture/slowe and let him roll. (I told my buddy to pick him up in FH, because he is going to have a stellar year, not having the “C.”)
–You do not make it to NHL without heart! But it looks different in different guys. When You play 84 games in 6 months averaging a game every other night; fly out on Saturday to east coast hit 3 games in 3 states in 5 days, come home for 3 days and 2 games, then fly out for 4 more games in 4 different states in 7days . Then you can talk to me about heart and bringing it every day. Do you bringing “it” to your job every day? Tell me you want to be there every day? Are you as productive on those days? Whether $10 or $10M it is human nature, they get overwhelmed!
–It is a different team than last year they are still trying to find their Identity, give them a break, at least they have roles this year more tailored to their personalities (go Todd). Once they finally click watch out!! Hopefully after the Olympic break…(Oh and I love Sotty Nichol he is like a gnat always in your face!)

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 23:56:24 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/sharks/?p=2568#comment-50850Bruce…I have to agree 100% with Evil’s assessment of those 4 former Sharks. Heatley has done exactly what he’s supposed to be doing. Yes, he made a bad play that led to a game-losing goal in OT (on a shot that my nephew could have stopped…he’s the goaltender for one of our local college teams).

Heater goes to the tough areas to score and makes himself available to Joe. His ability to get his blade on the puck and his release in the tight areas of the ice is remarkable. That’s his primary role, just like Dougie Murray’s is to play defense as opposed to score. I’m not saying he should be excused from playing defense, but asking more than he does is just not fair.

I haven’t been impressed with Huskins as I think he goes to sleep at times, but on the whole I think this team is head and shoulders above last years squad. There fighting motivation a bit right now. All the good teams go through this. other than the Kings, look at the last 10 games for the top 2 teams in each division of the West. Everyone is between 6-4 and 4-6. I’m not concerned.
